"A Toolbox for Student-Centered Learning at a Distance Once upon a time, not so long ago, in a land not so far away, there lived a very wise woman. This woman was so wise that many people traveled long distances to learn from her. Then, one day, she received a message from someone who would like to study with her but was unable to make the long journey to her home in the mountains. The woman thought and though about the person who sent the message. She had received other messages like this before and knew that there were many who were unable to come to her. She wanted to help but just wasn't sure how to go about it."
There are readings, examples and practices to support the need for changing philosophical positions about the nature of the learner, the curriculum, assessment and the way in which students organise, manage and produce evidence of learning..quite a succinct piece of work!
An USA site that provides tools and resources to help keep up by fusing the three Rs and four Cs (critical thinkingand problem solving, communication, collaboration, and creativity and
innovation).
